Sony Begins OLED Mass Production

Dodger73 writes "According to their press release at sony.net, Sony beings mass production of full color OLED displays at 3.8" size for their Clie PEG-VZ90 'Personal Entertainment Handheld.' The press release claims, that their 'Super Top Emission' technology reaches 150cd/m^2; at the familiar 1000:1 contrast ratio. Not quite the 19" display I'd like for my computer at home, but definitely a step in the right direction."

its not

Its not the size that matters, its how you use it... I will be very happy to have my 3.8"

So now we have Organic LED's and Organic speakers.... perhaps one day we will have an organic computer! :-)

As OLED works with self-luminous organic materials, it has outstanding response time, without producing any afterimage even when displaying moving images (movies). Also with wide viewing angle and contrast ratio as high as 1000:1, high quality images can be realized on mobile products which are used in various occasions.

As the saying goes, mother nature knows best. With all our technical skills, nature can produce a better light emitting substance than we can!

This is super sexy, I cannot wait until I have a paper thin wall sized display...

Good work sony.

Chin up, little fellas

Just don't use any anti-bacterial soap before handling it! ::swish::

Not to set up a patriarchy but perhaps father time knows better. Nature has a few billion years of work we need to catch up on.

Pah!

I have been using a grid of Glow-worms for years.

Green screen only so far, but the chocolate food dispensor works as expected. The biggest problem I have is the noise they make when trying to shove replacement ones into place.

I'm sure the RSPCA would be on at me for something, but its in the name of science!

I don't know about you, but I keep my organic computer between my ears.

Is that better than my Lite-Brite panel?

Everyone has at least one of those (sometimes two in the banjo-playing towns). Unfortunately, there seem to be some serious quality control issues in the production process.

That's probably because so few engineers ever manage to get involved in it.

Dude! Don't you know that "Super Top Emission" is actually an FCC approved rating for display technology. Here's the rating summary directly from FCC Document BU11-SH17:

25 cd/m2 -- Cheap Bastard Emission
50 cd/m2 -- 'Not too bad' Emission
75 cd/m2 -- Very Good Emission
100 cd/m2 -- Mega Emission
150 cd/m2 -- Super Top Emission
175 cd/m2 -- Ulta Super-dee-dooper Emission
200 cd/m2 -- Mega Ulta Super-dee-dooper Emission
300 cd/m2 -- Nocturnal Emission

No really...

Just a thought
